i'm thinking it's a PCed black C5 caliper....doesn't look like a stock J55 caliper. This is the closest I can come up with http://www.discbrakesrus.com/powdercoatingbrakes.htm

This air intake together with the headers from Geoff Jeal have added genuine power and performance to the Z. Other Zr1 owners in Europe are really impressed.

I'd love to see the front of that thing....

No problem: I will try to get pictures from under the car as I don't want to take it away... (easy to get away, but another story to get it back in its place )

We had to cut the car body to have more surface to collect air.

LuxZ, you picked the rite site. theres a ton of knowledge to be gained here. These guys know whats going on. They can answer any question. about 5 years ago, i got the opportunity to visit your country. went to see a show there. i was there visiting my nephew who was stationed at spangdahlem a.f.b. near bittburg. drove from there to amsterdam then down to paris and back to Bittberg. what i really liked was no speed limits. Had i been in the Z, "OH BOY". Instead it was a rented Toyota stationwagon. P.S. I sampled a lot of good beer too

Well there are some speed limits almost everywhere, but the couple of highways with no speed limits are heaven

Bittburg is nice to go as US troops have lots of US cars and they organise a couple of quarter mile runs every year

please let me know if you come around, we will meet!
